Kinsa

When my wife gets sick, I swear that she takes her temperature every 15 minutes (she also considers 98.6 a fever because her temperature is normally lower than that). I don’t even bother taking my temperature unless I’m worried that I’m very sick. Thermometers can be important tools for tracking health, but most of us don’t use them to our full potential. Kinsa is a New York, NY based company that is changing the way that people take their temperatures and monitor their health. They’ve developed a smartphone compatible thermometer that combines with an app to provide a completely new type of health tracking technology solution.

Kinsa calls its flagship product the “world’s smartest thermometer.” The truth is that the thermometer isn’t all that special–it’s the app that it connects to. It engages kids so that it’s easier to take their temps. It keeps records of your entire family’s health history. And it will even connect with other users in your location to help you figure out what’s going around. To me that’s the coolest feature. Kinsa doesn’t have a jobs page yet, but they’ve posted a number of positions on Indeed. You can check them out to the left.
